Bumburait (Kalasha: Mumuret, Urdu: وادی بمبوریت) is the largest valley of Kalasha Desh in Lower Chitral District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa the province of Pakistan.^[1][2] It is one of the three valleys of Kalasha Valleys. An archaeology museum known as Kalasha Dur Museum, is situated in the valley.^[3][4] The Bumburait valley joins the Rumbur valley at 35°44′20″N 71°43′40″E 1,600 metres (5,200 ft), and then joins the Kunar Valley at the village of Ayun (35°42′52″N 71°46′40″E, 2288 meters, some 20 kilometres (12 mi) south (downstream) of Chitral. To the west the valley rises to a pass connecting to Afghanistan's Nuristan Province at about 4,500 metres (14,800 ft). The valley is inhabited by the Kalash people, and has become a tourist destination.^[5] However, their population is rapidly declining. As of 2019, only 37 households existed in the valley that still followed traditional practices.^{[citation needed]}
